Her prejudice side shows through on their trip when she shares stories about a little nigger boy. During the trip, she complains about the many differences in the past and present behaviors of good people (O'Connor). John Desmond tells the readers that the Grandmother’s lying and selfishness are directly the cause of the accident and death of her family (Desmond). The Grandmother’s sins should not be a death sentence but are they forgivable in the eyes of Jesus? The Grandmother tried to convince the Misfit he was a good man in order to save herself (O'Connor).
Up until the mid 1942’s most Jews were unaware that the Final Solution was being implemented throughout German occupied territory. Before their realization of this, they were stripped weapons and faced starvation. These two things coupled with what the thought that they were being deported to ghettos with food and housing helped them to believe that they didn’t need to take to arms and fight back. Also, the Nazis policy for reprisals worked against their want to fight. For every act of defiance and murder of a Nazi solider, a Jew and his family would be executed, sometimes even whole villages of Jews.
That would be the natural thing for anyone to think that a church is the safest place to be, since it supposed under God's protection. To some people's point of view, it is a sacrilege to destroy a church. I can relate to the mother's pain, because I to was going to be a mother last year sometime, until my doctor told me that my baby was dead before it got the chance to be born. I was so looking forward in having the baby, I followed all my doctor's instructions, but my baby ended up dead. I could not understand why my baby would die in four months into the pregnancy, since I was a healthy person and did not have any bad habits like
A weakness to their relationship would be when his mother told him all the time that she was going to die. It made Gates feel responsible and with that could come depression and guilt. The big idea that is apart of Gates and his mothers relationship was him joining the church. If it wasn’t for his mother going through depression and him witnessing everything at a young age he wouldn’t have had that event happen. His mother knew very well about life and funerals.
I get the feeling that she was sick from before because of the fact that she killed her husband and went into hiding. I also sympathize with her because if my husband or any family member was brain dead I kind-of would’ve wanted to end their suffering too but at least stick around to do the time after, instead of running away like you planned it. Maybe while her husband was “dead” she snapped and just couldn’t take it anymore, standing around waiting for your loved one to die is just horrible, and maybe during that timing she just had a break down physiologically, and emotionally.
When they were about to leave the place someone came and put there arm around Abbey and it didn’t tell what she did till the next chapter. To tell you the truth I really didn’t want to read it because I was scared something bad was going to happen. It turned out she just bit him really hard and it worked! The book was odd because some of the stuff just didn’t make any sense to me like why they snuck out of the house so may times. And when the father didn’t want to get out of jail it made no sense because he could have gotten bailed out!
I would have to agree with that because I am actually going through my parents getting a divorce and when I found out I didn’t want to believe it at all I didn’t want to see my parents split up it just wasn’t right to me. It really caused me to feel depression and I felt like I was the blame for their divorce. Thinking about it more I feel like can this divorce ruin my love for someone when it happens will I myself get divorce and put my kids through what I went through, I would not want that to happen and it scares me sometimes for my
Kemmerich’s mother is not convinced that Paul is telling the truth, saying, “I have felt how terribly he died. I have heard his voice at night, I have felt his anguish—tell the truth, I want to know it, I must know it” (180). Paul deliberately continues being vague in order to comfort his comrade’s mother. She is relentless in investigating her son’s death, pleading, “Are you willing never to come back yourself, if isn’t true?” and Paul quickly replies, “May I never come back if he wasn’t killed instantaneously” (181). This is
Other families have suffered losses because of the feud between these two families that lasted for generations. Most of these deaths would never have occurred if the two families were not fighting. Furthermore, Friar Lawrence told Lord Capulet that Juliet sought advice to avoid the marriage to Paris without disobeying her father; she even threatened to kill herself in his chamber if the Friar refused to help (5:3:236-241). Lord Capulet should not have yelled or threatened Juliet over an arranged marriage to Paris. He pressured her into drinking the concoction out of desperation.
These poor parents are wondering why on earth would someone want to shoot defenseless children? My life has changed till that day, I feel so bad for the families behind all these children and adults. If I were put in the same situation where I sent my child off to school, and later realized that I will never be picking them up, I would be heartbroken. The teachers are heroes for risking their lives to help save as many children as possible. This is one of the main reasons why I believe that in the 2nd amendment “the right to bear arms” needs to hold back on the right to have weapons because of all the crazy people we have in this world.
